Collin Birthday Party

Collin has been planning his birthday party since summer. He went to a couple of parties & realized what happens (meaning presents are given & your friends sing to you) and he has talked about having a Spiderman Party ever since. We decided to have it at a place called The Jump Zone. Here is the website if you want to check it out - it's a pretty neat place (scroll down to the bottom of the site & they will have pictures of the location). http://www.jumpzoneparty.com/Duluth/home.php
So we invited 20 kids & we had 17 show up! We were shocked at the turnout! Everyone had a GREAT time (especially Collin). After the kids jumped before we did cake/ice cream, we had the kids meet at the Spiderman inflatable for a group picture (some of the kids were still playing when picture time rolled around). It's easy to spot Collin because he is the kid who took off his shirt. A little girl at his party was wearing a jumper & she was hot so her dad took her undershirt off of her. When Collin saw she didn't have a shirt - he didn't want one either. After the picture, we all sang Happy Birthday & the ate cake/ice cream. Everyone ate their cake/ice cream & then got their goodie bags & left. For this age, it's better that you open the gifts at home because the kids don't understand that the gifts they gave are not theirs AND it prevents from stuff getting lost/broken. I had never thought about this until we had gone to a few parties & I saw both ways how it was done. So we took the gifts home & let Collin open them at the house. He got LOTS of fun stuff. All in all, it was a great birthday!!
